Reported in www.savoie-maurienne.com as a number of fragments of baptismal font or holy-water stoup found in the ruins of the old chapel of Saint-Pierre d'Extravache, an 11th-century church. The medieval church, believed to have been originally part of a priory, was functioning as parish church as alte as the 18th century; it was badly damaged by fire in the 1800s, a time when the hamlet itself was abandoned.
